Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Drew Harris:

The simple answer to that is "Yes". That is based on the additional tactic we have in place in terms of the water cannon but also then the additional strength we provided in terms of the incapacitant spray. Over time, we will develop further tactics around the enhanced vehicles that we have and the round shield tactics. We are also building Tasers into our response as well should individual members or groups of members be attacked by a particularly violent individual.
